One of the most talented and confident players on the UTSA roster, Jones said he told close friends on the team before the season he thought the Roadrunners could — and should — start the year with a 6-0 record.

“I was talking with my roommates and we were saying we should go 6-0,” he said. “That was my goal. We came up short, but we played a pretty good team this past weekend. We've got to just put it behind us and come out ready to play.”
